G4 Blanco Tequila is a premium, unaged spirit crafted by Master Distiller Felipe Camarena at the renowned El Pandillo Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. This tequila exemplifies traditional production methods, resulting in a pure and authentic expression of Blue Weber agave.
Production Process:
Agave Selection: Utilizes estate-grown, mature Blue Weber agave, ensuring optimal sugar content and flavor development.
Cooking: Agave hearts are slowly roasted in traditional brick ovens, allowing for even cooking and the development of rich, sweet flavors.
Extraction: Employs a combination of traditional tahona (stone wheel) and mechanical roller mill to extract the agave juice, balancing artisanal methods with efficiency.
Fermentation: The extracted juice ferments naturally with wild yeast in open-air stainless steel tanks, promoting a complex flavor profile.
Distillation: Double-distilled in copper pot stills, refining the spirit while preserving the agave's character.
Water Source: A unique blend of 50% collected rainwater and 50% spring water from the distillery's property is used, contributing to the tequila's distinct minerality and smoothness.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Fresh agave, citrus zest, and subtle floral notes, with hints of black pepper and earthiness.
Palate: Clean and crisp, featuring sweet cooked agave, light pepper spice, and a touch of minerality, leading to a balanced and smooth finish.
